- Gutierrez: good range
- Check swing
- Hit on the left knee
- Ripken bobbled it, thwarting DP attempt
- Off the diving Gutierrez' glove and rolled into short CF
- Check swing high-hopper
- Hit above the orange line in RF
- Ripken: diving catch
- Dwyer: sliding catch
- Just over the LCF fence beyond the leaping Shelby's glove
- Just over the CF fence off the leaping Shelby's glove
